The Paradise War

Lewis Gillies is an American graduate student in Oxford who should be getting on with his life. Yet for some reason, he finds himself speeding north with his roommate Simon on a larkùhalf-heartedly searching for a long-extinct creature allegedly spotted in a misty glen in Scotland. Expecting little more than a weekend diversion, Lewis accidently crosses through a mystical gateway where two worlds meet: into the time-between-times, as the ancient Celts called it. And into the heart of a collision between good and evil that's been raging since long before Lewis was born.

The Silver Hand

The great king is dead and his kingdom lies in ruins. Treachery and brutality rule the land, and Albion is the scene of an epic struggle for the throne.

Lewis is now known as Llew in this Otherworld and has become a threat to the usurper Meldron. Exiled and driven from the clan, he must seek the meaning behind a mysterious prophecyùthe making of a true king and the revealing of a long-awaited champion: Silver Hand.

The Endless Knot

Fires rage in Albion: strange, hidden, dark-flamed, invisible to the eye. In the midst of it, Llew must journey to the Foul Land to redeem his greatest treasure. As the last battle begins, the myths, passions, and heroism of an ancient people come to life . . . and Llew Silver Hand will face a challenge that will test his very soul.<… (more)

Lewis was a skeptic. An aurochs in Scotland? Yeah, right. The ancient breed of huge wild cattle was hunted to extinction by the Celts before Rome conquered England. But Lewis follows his friend Simon to the site on a whim, and through that whim his beliefs are shattered. Simon was just poking around a Celtic cairn, he goes inside to explore, and never comes out. Lewis is hard-put to belive, but he has to follow Simon into the unknown--after all, he is a friend.

Lewis finds himself in a world of wonder--the Celtic Otherworld, the fount of all of their tales, songs, epics, and myths. The Otherworld is the dream our world strives to recall: beautiful and relatively peaceful (except for some battles over clan status, of course). Lewis struggles to make a place for himself by the rules of his new life, following Simon's footsteps. But the Otherworld is not as safe as it appears, and the influence of Lewis's home world is about to take a perilous toll. ( )
